COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Based upon customer feedback, NHI has summarized portions of FHWA-NHI-310109 Federal-Aid 101 into this self-paced, Web-based format. We encourage everyone to take advantage of the opportunity to attend the full, Instructor-led training. However, for those constrained by time or travel money, this WBT provides a good short-term option.

The overall goal of this training is to provide an overview of the key elements of the Federal-Aid Highway Program. Specifically, this training focuses on the general requirements and laws that govern the Federal-Aid Highway Program, the processes and procedures of project development, and the identification of inherent flexibility in the Federal-Aid Program. NHI is continuously expanding our Web-based training offerings and would love to hear what you think about this training. When you complete it, please take the time to fill out the online course evaluation form provided. We've also prepared an accessible, 508-compliant version, see FHWA-NHI-310115W for more information.
